  Lovely hotel a few let downs

  04 Jul 2026

  Lovely hotel and I am very fussy. We had breakfast included and it was very good all fresh and really nice. Cooked bacon, sausage, eggs all to order. Juices, coffee all very excellent quality. Room was immaculately clean, bed so nice & pillows. Linen crisp and clean. Changed everyday if you wanted towels shower all impeccable. The only reason I’ve not given 5* as the centrally controlled air con wasn’t cool enough. Our fridge did not work even though I told reception 2/3 times. No tea/coffee in room but we know so took a travel kettle. Also on check out asked for an extra hour on our room. Receptionist quite rude and abrupt. Even though we had another couple staying and other friends going in September as recommended by us. On check in first room was actually like a box really tiny and the outside space was in a walkway they was not going to change the room and I would have actually left it was my husband’s 60th birthday. Luckily the lady in the office heard my disappointment and found a room. Pool area nice. Probably not return. Unfortunately.

  Lovely Hotel run by a Great Team

  22 Oct 2025

  My wife, myself and my daughter had a really wonderful holiday here. The hotel is quite new, bright and clean. But the best thing about it is the superb team who run it. The receptionists, the chefs and the housekeeping staff all made us feel very welcome and were so hard-working and conscientious and all were such nice people! The food here is superb. We were planning to often eat out, expecting the hotel food to be standard and boring, but it was so good that we eat all the time in house. With delicious lunchtime paellas and freshly cooked local fish, meat and exotic dishes along with imaginative vegetable dishes and salads, and a great breakfast buffet, nobody could fail to be impressed.The location is great, right opposite the beach and a two minute walk to the heart of the vibrant, beautiful town. Thank you for a truly memorable week's holiday!!

  Castellon experience

  03 Mar 2025

  We stayed at the Castillo de Peniscola for a long weekend at the beginning of March. The hotel is the cleanest and best kept hotels we have ever stayed in, all the staff from reception, dining room, bar and cleaning staff were all very friendly and efficient. We took advantage of the half board option and wasn't disappointed. The choice of food was fantastic and very good quality, the vegetables were a little luke warm but these can be warmed up in the microwave whilst you're waiting for your meat/fish to be cooked. It was a little hectic at breakfast with everyone trying to access the same area for hot drinks, toast and microwave but other than that you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast. The room was very clean with a comfortable bed and great shower and a balcony with a view of the castle and ocean. We arrived in Peniscola from Castellon airport by taking the bus to Torreblanca then train to Benicarlo, a taxi from Benicarlo to Peniscola was 18 euros although the bus does also stop outside. We also visited the Castle for 5 euros and took a lovely stroll around the old town. We took a bus ride to Visaro where we sampled some fantastic seafood. The reception staff kindly booked a taxi from the hotel to the airport which cost 65 euros, much cheaper than online. Whilst we were unfortunate to experience the resort at low season during a cold and wet spell, I think this would be a lovely place to enjoy the sun in the summer time!

  One of the best hotels experience in Spain.

  23 Oct 2023

  The cleanest and best interior finishing quality hotel I have seen in Spain! Personnel active and notices details, rooms clean and fresh, cleaning quality excellent, walls and doors noise isolation level great. Breakfast and dinner quality good, (only suggestion would be adding basic veggies like cucumber and tomato to breakfast selection). Location excellwnt and easy to access. Parking secure and isolated. Best stay of Spanish approx 20 hotels I have seen. Also beats some 5 star specimens.

  A good and memorable stay

  24 Sept 2023

  We really enjoyed our visit. Excellent location just near the beach and a short walk to the old town. We enjoyed the buffet style food in the hotel's restaurant. The room was small but had everything we needed. We were there during the "Moors and Christians" festival - a highlight especially with the fireworks and costumed groups in the parade. The resort and hotel is popular with the Spanish and French is often easier to communicate with as a second language rather than English - although don't be put off if you only speak English. Long day trips to Valencia and Morella were also highlights but an especially long day visiting Valencia. The trains work reliably. Taxi from Benicarlo station to the hotel was 18 euros. A good and memorable trip.
